Approval of the Minutes for May 13, 2026. R E G U L A R A G E N D A 2. Zoning Map Amendment and General Plan Amendment at Approximately 140 B St & 272 E 3rd Ave – Tyler and Kara Alden, the property owners, are seeking approval of a zoning map amendment and general plan amendment petitions for the above listed properties. The property at 140 N B St is the current site of Ellerbeck Bed and Breakfast and Café 140 B. The property at 272 E 3rd Avenue is currently a single-family home. No new construction or modiﬁcations of the historic buildings on the properties are proposed as part of this petition. SALT LAKE CITY | PLANNING COMMISSION 3 A. Zoning Map Amendment: To allow the house at 272 E 3rd Avenue to operate as a retail space and coffee/pastry shop, the applicant is requesting a zoning map amendment from RMF-35 to MU-2. Although the property is being proposed for the MU-2 zoning district, consideration may be given to rezoning the property to another zoning district with similar characteristics. The Ellerbeck B&B and Cafe 140 B are legal nonconforming uses, and although they are included in this proposal, no change to the use or structures on this property is proposed as part of this petition. Petition Number: PLNPCM2026-00034 B. General Plan Amendment: As the proposed zoning map amendment is not aligned with the adopted Avenues future land use map, changing the zoning designation also requires the general plan to be amended. Petition Number: PLNPCM2026- 00008 The subject properties are within Council District 3, represented by Chris Wharton. (Staff Contact: Alicia Seeley at 801-535-7922 or Alicia.Seeley@slc.gov) 3. Zoning Text Amendment for Maximum Daily Water Use – Mayor Erin Mendenhall has initiated a Zoning Text Amendment to modify the daily maximum water consumption allowed by limiting the exemptions to the daily maximum to include only agriculture, schools, government owned or operated facilities that primarily provide social services, places of worship, and hospitals. The zoning code currently places a maximum daily water use of 200,000 gallons per day with exemptions for all institutional uses. This proposal applies to all zoning districts and all property in the city. (Staff Contact: Nick Norris at 801-535-6173 or nick.norris@slc.gov) Petition Number: PLNPCM2026-00274 4. Avenues Community Plan Update – Mayor Mendenhall has initiated a petition to complete a comprehensive update to the Avenues Community Plan. The Avenues Community Plan is a land use plan for the Avenues community, located in the northeastern part of the city, between City Creek to the west, University of Utah to the east, Downtown and Central City to the south, and the city's northern border. The Avenues Community Plan was originally adopted in 1987. The updated plan will provide guidance on existing and anticipated development in the neighborhood for the next 15 years. The Avenues community is located in Council District 3, represented by Chris Wharton.
